Goal 2. Close Inhumane Immigration Detention Facilities

DHS has demonstrated consistent failure to implement standards that adequately protect detainees from abuses ranging from sexual assault to inadequate medical and mental health care. Government documents reveal nearly 200 allegations of sexual abuse and assault at detention facilities across the country since 2007. Terrible detention conditions persist, including overuse of administrative segregation, absence of outdoor recreation, and denial of in-person family contact visits.
